[QUOTE="cheryl, post: 178512, member: 1"] nobody deleted your posts, nobody's afraid of you... Get a life... {{{For those of you wondering what this is about we have had a self congratulatory cyberstalking troll slithering around underfoot for a few years. Squash dissent is another example of how this individual creates different accounts and then attempts to project an image of importance and credibility onto one of the other [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sockpuppet_%28Internet%29"]sockpuppet[/URL] accounts that he/she created. From Wikipedia: Trolling is a game about identity deception, albeit one that is played without the consent of most of the players. The troll attempts to pass as a legitimate participant, sharing the group's common interests and concerns; the newsgroups members, if they are cognizant of trolls and other identity deceptions, attempt to both distinguish real from trolling postings, and upon judging a poster a troll, make the offending poster leave the group. Their success at the former depends on how well they — and the troll — understand identity cues; their success at the latter depends on whether the troll's enjoyment is sufficiently diminished or outweighed by the costs imposed by the group.}}} [/QUOTE]
